A student posed this question to me today. What is your biggest regret in life. I said without hesitation, "Not playing the Tic-Tac-Toe chicken at Trump 29 Casino."
True story.
I'm not one to live with regrets, but this...I regret! My sister and I went to Venice beach for the weekend and on the way home we stopped at the (then) Trump 29 Casino. I wanted to stop ever since I saw the "Beat the Tic-Tac-Toe Chicken" sign. (No, I wouldn't let it go until we stopped there)
We arrived at dusk because we got sidetracked people watching. I remember bragging about how quickly I would beat the chicken (because as you know, I am the Tic-Tac-Toe master). I was so excited. We got there and to my horror, there was a long long line. I waited a bit, but got bored and started to wander. I looked through the window and saw it was getting darker, so I suggested we leave and come back next month because we had a +5 hour drive ahead of us.
We left and never returned. Where the heck did Trump 29 Casino go anyway?
My dreams were destroyed as I went back later..to nothing. No chicken, no million dollars...nothing.
Oh, P.S. The second thing I regret is eating a 2 pound bag full o gummi bears when I was 20 years old. I was so sick after I didn't eat for three days and I had a migraine the whole time! I can't even look a gummi bear straight in the beady eye after this incident.
